We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).

They should mandate that all UN organizations stop all live meetings and switch to video conferencing only. The amount of jet fuel currently burned from these meetings and conferences would be immense. If not, then they're a bunch of hypocritical SOBs.

Well asshat, first you need to eliminate the outliers from your dataset. Top and bottom 10% get thrown out, leaving you with 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7. Your average is 5.66. So yes, about half are below and half are above. Thanks for playing, now run along troll.

This whole post is a troll. WTF is he expecting from his potential candidates? I'm a sharepoint developer, but I have no idea how I would answer his question. It's stupid. Put a fucking folder on your company file share (or a library on your Sharepoint site), where only you and I have permissions, so I can upload and you can access. Who encrypts files to send internally? If I were applying for a job and I got asked this question, I'd ask who the head moron was that decided internal communications needed to be encrypted as opposed to password protected.

But I have to say, the last year of Firefox has SUCKED!!! It crashesit's slow...it chews up huge amount of resourcesit just SUCKS. And I know I'm going to get flamed with a bunch of "it's not Firefox, it's Flash/Java/other plugin", but that doesn't change the fact that Internet Explorer is handling the same plugins and isn't crashing/slow/eating memory. I'm at the point where I only have 5 websites which I'll use firefox for because I know it can handle them okay. The rest of my surfing has gone back to IE. I'm praying that the next version improves on this, but I'm losing faith...

I don't think you appreciate just how fantastic JRR Tolkien's work is. He wrote literally thousands upon thousands of pages that were merely backdrop to his story. References to ages past and heroes long dead that only get a couple of sentences in the actual Lord of the Rings series, but he took the time to write out the stories of those heroes and their deeds. I like Game of Thrones, and think it's a fantastic piece of work, but I don't think it surpasses what Tolkien managed to achieve.
